Went on the Oozlum Bird Number 2 Railtour today which started from London Victoria, went to the Mid Hants Railway via London lines and returned to Waterloo via Ascot, Staines, Willesden South West sidings and Kenny O.

Got various photos of 73206/209 at Victoria, Wimbledon, Factory Junction, Ropley and Waterloo. Also got photos of 60019 Bittern and 33208 on the Mid Hants, some units passing by on the mainlines and 37422 at Victoria and Waterloo.

Photos @ http://craigrailpics.fotopic.net/c1455983.html

Also done a video containing a few clips.

You shouldn't be slapping people, especially on rail tours, because if the tour operator found out that you were doing that, you could be banned from future tours

:roll: so can you not do heads out if your doing 90mph or above? the speed + wind to much for you? :p

I stuck my head out yeah, but if I was filming I had to hold on to the camera tightly as the strap was blowing off it was so fast combined with the wind, was fun flailing through Kensington Olympia at night at about 60!, was Surprised there was no spotters as we had a 37 with us at the time <D<D<D.

if you think that is that, you should had tried Canterbury West-Kensington Olympia via Dover [Heads Out all the way] behind a pair of Goyles 8-)


I hope you're not claiming you had haulage behind a 37

Hi folks,

Here are my shots from the Oozlum Bird 2 railtour. I'm sure I must've seen most of you (we were in coach G). Thoughts and comments always welcome.
